We’ve been to Club Robinson in Sarigerme several times and loved it but because it was closed this year, we thought we’d try Daidalos. We’d heard good things about the club from others. They weren’t wrong: it’s a very nice club and we enjoyed our holiday. I think if you stay with Club Robinson, you’re more or less guaranteed a great time.||We received a warm welcome and were delighted to hear that we’d been upgraded to a better room, one with a lovely sea view. The gardens and grounds are gorgeous, carefully tended by the gardening team.||I came primarily for group fitness classes and wasn’t at all disappointed. The WellFit Aktiv team are very competent and professional. I did indoor cycling every day: it is quite hard and the team will push you to your limits. Great for burning off the calories! My thanks go to Michelle for her great music and unfailing good humour, to Rafaella for a fantastic class with her mum and dad, Franzi, and Buba. The daily Aquagym classes in the main pool are also fun and varied. The sports programme is full but numbers of participants are limited at the moment so you have to sign up quickly on the Robinson app to be in.||My husband was there primarily for the sailing and had a few good days on the catamaran during the two weeks we were there. Some days were too windy, some others not windy enough. Better if there are two sailors as quite often you need two to go out. Excellent conditions for windsurfing! It would be good if the sailing station were open until 6pm though like in Sarigerme.||We thought it a shame the club is “Vollpension” rather than All Inclusive. We’re not big drinkers so didn’t mind too much but you have to pay for coffee and water outside meal times. There aren’t many water fountains around but the tap water in your room is drinkable. One big advantage, I suppose, is that guests aren’t using up mountains of plastic bottles day after day. The prices of drinks are pretty expensive compared to prices in Germany.||The buffets are good and the gala dinner especially excellent. The waitresses, chefs and serving staff are fantastic: very friendly and efficient and are delighted to teach you a few words of Greek if you’d like to give it a go. The main restaurant is only open until 2pm (why not 2.30pm?) and the popular beach restaurant until 3pm. For some reason, coffee is charged for at the beach restaurant at lunchtime; we felt strongly it should be included.||There probably isn’t as much entertainment as in normal times - for example, the night club isn’t open - but most evenings there is live music and there are occasional shows in the theatre and events around the pool. Some of the guest entertainers, people staying at the club, were great!||The management are taking great pains to keep all spaces hygienic. Housekeeping staff are constantly and meticulously cleaning all surfaces. Everyone is asked to wear masks in the restaurants when not eating. We felt safe at all times but felt very uncomfortable having to share a table at mealtimes with other guests, when safe distances couldn’t be kept. It would be much better if there were smaller tables, for two and for four people.||The Club is quite remote so if you’d like to see a bit of the island (strongly recommended) you need to hire a car (from the very nice onsite Hertz lady for €70 a day) or do an excursion. Excursions are not well advertised but Eleni, the Tui representative, was helpful. I did a half day excursion to Kos town for €12 which I thoroughly enjoyed. Pickup is from the hotel. One thing I would beg of Tui: please have this excursion on any other day than a Tuesday, as that’s the only day that the Archaeological Museum and the Casa Romana are closed. Disappointing for a history lover like me, although Kos town is full of fascinating ruins. There are cycling tours from the Club every day which I would have been interested in had it not been quite so hot.||The beach is long and sandy, but bring beach shoes as there are rocks in the surf that bite you if you get too close!||Thanks to Ody (a great entertainer amongst other talents!) and all his team for providing great memories during particularly trying times. Enduring memories will be the unbelievably beautiful sunsets, the lovely serving staff blowing us farewell kisses, and being waved off with a Greek flag at our departure.
